The 5th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience '08) is being held September 24-26th at the Yarrow Resort in Park City. The focus of this conference is the latest research developments across all sectors of geographic information science, and over 100 presenters and 200 participants from around the world in academic, industry and government will be attending to explore and discuss the latest findings and advancements.

The conference and all associated workshops are open to everyone, and this is the last week to register at the early rate ($320 standard, $115 student, $80 per workshop -- deadline 8/22/08). This is great opportunity to get exposed to basic geographic information research from major centers across a host of disciplines including local a few local stars like Brandon Plewe from  BYU, as well Scott Bridwell and Tetsuo Kobayashi from the U of U who will be presenting. Information regarding the current schedule of events and the list of presentations and posters is available at the conference website (http://www.giscience.org ).

We have a ArcGIS Server: Web Administration Using the Microsoft .NET Framework class coming up in Salt Lake City on 9/23 that needs a few more students to avoid cancellation.

This course is fairly new and usually very popular with ArcGIS architecture, security, optimization/tuning, reverse proxy servers, caching, etc. as topics. If you know of anyone who would like to take this course please encourage them to register.

 One would think that changing some text of a tab would be pretty trivial, especially since the ajax TabContainer control contains this function...

set_headerText : function(value) {
        if (!this.get_isInitialized()) {
            throw Error.invalidOperation(String.format(AjaxControlToolkit.Resources.Tabs_PropertySetBeforeInitialization, 'headerText'));
        }
        if (this._headerText != value) {
            this._headerTab.innerHTML = value;
            this.raisePropertyChanged("headerText");
        }
    }

This function didn't work as simply as I had imagined
